Public debt of the United States government was re ported today by the treasury as $24, 824,345,000. Most of this., represents Liberty bonds of the first, second, third and fourth issues but the victory Liberty loan : is not . included to any great extent. TTie addition of victory loan bonds will be largely counter balanced by redemeption of outstand ing certificates of indebtedness. No deduction is made for the $8,852,000,000 loaned to foreign governments. Con sequently the net debt will be approxi mately $16,000,000,000. The treasury plans to issue other b6nds later . this . year and next year to meet the fag ends of war expenses, but in the aggregate these are not ex pected to amount to more than $5, -000,000,000. so that the gross public debt of the United States is expected by treasury officials to be in the neigh borhood of $30,000,000,000 when the pe riod of war, financing ends. The treasury now has a Working balance of $1,052,000,000 of which $657,546,000 Is on deposit with banks throughout the country on account of bills of certificates of indebtedness and victory Liberty notes. The, treasury holds $2,568,599,000 in gold but a little more than half of this belongs to the gold settlement fund of the federal re serve board. Silver dollars in the treasury, which a little more than a year ago amounted to $490,000,000 had been reduced to $229,711,000 by"melting down of approximately $260,000,000 of silver dollars for export to India. were fighting it with water.

Burnett says there is lots of hog chol era , in : the northern portion of the county and " that It will soon spread over the entire section if the farmers do not take some precaution in regard to the matter. ; - - - 1 There . Is no cure for hog cholera and of course the only safe way is prevention, and there is only one way to prevent it and that Is by the simul taneous treatment with hog cholera serum and virus, ' and this . treatment is an absolute " prevention if admin istered at the proper time, but the mistake that most farmers make Is that they wait until their hogs are infected before they have the work done, the cost is very small compared with the value of a hog. Dr. Baxter, of the State Live Stock Sanitary Board, is in the city and will be here Just as long-as the people will take advantage of the opportunity to use him and have their hogs treated. His services, as welf as those of Agent Burnett, are absolutely free and it is the wish of both these parties that every hog owner will see or communi cate with one of them and have their hogs inoculated before it is too. late. , There is a great possibility ahead of the farmer in the raising of hogs if they will only take advantage of the opportunity and keep their hogs free from disease as there is more money to be made in the raising of hogs than any other branch of the farm work, so please see these men and take advan tage of this opportunity. , Mrs. Eugene Faircloth, who has been at the T.
